San Marcos Auto Repair

Best shop in San Marcos. I have been taking my vehicles to Dealer Alternative Auto Care for two years. The crew is trustworthy, honest, and friendly. I highly recommend them for all of your auto needs.

My initial visit was professional and Paul did a good job of answering my questions and helping me work out how to get my car towed to them. The job was finished quicker than I expected. There was a glitch in the results because the next day the ac went off again. I was upset and left a message, thinking I would not hear back until the end of the Labor Day weekend. I got a text asking when I could return the next day which was Sunday. I drive over there and the owner was there and one of their mechanic. The shop was closed that day but they came in to take care of my car. The problem was found and fixed within the hour. Some small part was causing a leak. The whole time I was there I had a nice conversation with the owner and his dog Sage. We talked the whole hour and now we each know each others life history. lol. Nice people and good great service.

How sweet it is to drive around in a well-running car! Since June I've had an intermittent warning light and rough shifting. Monday Dealer Alternative found the problem (torn air intake hose) and fixed it for me. They are very professional, kind, and honest. This is the third time I've had my Civic worked on at Dealer Alternative, and I have been 100% satisfied every time. A good shop! Just don't drive too fast on the frontage road or you'll miss them and have to circle back! They are in the big green building next to the San Marcos Daily Record newspaper office.

My first time using this shop and I am very pleased. Courteous people, updates, and service. I will use again.

Ive been taking my vehicles to Dealer Alternative Auto Care for almost two years for minor or major repairs. The staff is always polite and courteous. They get the work completed in a timely manner at a reasonable price.

Great people here. A clean and efficient auto repair shop. If you want professional repairs by honest people this is the place. Wouldn't take my vehicle anywhere else.
